Small sensors for special surgery

Patricia A Broderick · MOJ Surgery · 2023

The brain is a living miracle. There are so many tasks to be done at once, so many neurons that need to talk with each other, integrate and interact to perform perfection in one part of one synaptic or non-synaptic action and within femtoseconds. We understand that the diseased brain that is compromised need not be thought of as a damaged brain. It is simply one that needs to be and can be fixed, in fact, with brilliant technologies that are at our fingertips. We believe that the brain is an electronic and chemical device that matches in temporal and spatial synchrony our first- class small sensor for surgery trademarked, the BRODERICK PROBE® series of nanoprobes and circuits. It is said to be one of the latest extraordinary feats in the surgical world and it is named affectionately after the author’s father, Paddy Broderick, from County Clare, Ireland. Thus, we think of brain and spinal cord disease as a mismatched connection, some connection that is wrong-just not right- as the fabulous network of dendrites work as do our internet cables, in this case, insulated from the extracellular space and as these dendrites impinge on an axon at the terminal synapses, neuronal and glial de
